Hello all,
Just a little update on my current research and direction of the New
Penguin Sleuth Kit.....I have been experimenting with several live cd
creation tools....As you all know I started the Penguin Sleuth Kit CD
by remastering Knoppix for forensics use....Since then several Knoppix
remasters have emerged in the forensics and security communities.
Although the Penguin Sleuth Kit had several security tools, it was the
first Knoppix remaster with forensics and live previewing in
mind....As stated in my earlier post many projects have emerged and I
feel proud to see the communities efforts in the boot cd arena....At
the beginning of last year I decided to move the Penguin Sleuth Kit
away from the Bootable CD concept into the emerging technology of
virtual computing. Now I have decided to not only bring the Penguin
Sleuth Kit in to the realm of virtual computing but I also plan to
bring it back to the Boot CD realm.....Actually it is a project that
will bring the two together....
Now what do I mean by this? Well, I will be offering the Penguin
Sleuth Kit Virtual Computer Platform with the ability to create your
own Boot CD from scratch...Yes from scratch or you can add tools to my
new PSK Boot CD.....Basically it will give the user the ability to
customize his own boot cd to their liking....One of the complaints I
always got was how my CD was missing a tool or how some of the tools
on the CD were not for them....Now guess what....You can make your
own!!! AND GUESS WHAT!!!! YOU CAN DO IT ON A WINDOWS BOX!!!!! So
stay tuned!!!!!
Now keep in mind that this project is still in it's initial stage of
research and development....I am still researching several tools and
resources plus writing some scripts that may make it possible so wish
me luck!!! I am pretty confident I can pull it off....
The Penguin Sleuth Kit has always been about innovation within the
computer forensics community through open source software....I hope
you all will be pleased with the results....
Now that being said, I will have to delay on working on the website,
but be patient I should be running well soon.....Although the website
has not been updated lately it still has many useful newsfeeds and
forums.....
Till next time.....

Welcome to the new home of Linux-Forensics.com, Putercops.org and the Penguin Sleuth Project!

I would like to welcome you to our new home. I have decided to consolidate my projects to make it easier on everybody. My goals here are to offer a platform of communication to the Computer Forensics Examiner, Computer Security Specialist, Law Enforcement, and people interested in the feilds. I have provided forums, a chat room along with other resources in the past through my other websites so I thought why not consolidate. I will be starting off new but still offering the same services along with a new Penguin Sleuth Kit which is a virtual computer forensics and security platform. The bootable CD will still be available for download. There will be seperate sections for both the Bootable CD and Virtual Platform. Each section contains links for downloading. At present the links for downloading the New Penguin Sleuth Kit can be found in the forums section.

I ask that you be patient with the next month as I will be trying to bring this website up to speed and also releasing my new Penguin Sleuth Kit. If you notice something missing from the old sites, I assure you that it will become available soon.

Stay tuned for more things to come!!!! I encourage you to start participating in the chat and forums now.....It's the comunity that makes the website, not the website that makes the community!

I will be posting FAQ's to explain a little better the directions of this project so stay tuned!
